Did Chris Matthews suggest Donald Trump should execute Jared Kushner?

   I am no fan of Jared Kushner however I would never go so far as to say he should be executed because I do not like him or agree with him. That goes without saying because obviously nobody would suggest something so extreme even in jest, right?

  Wrong! Somebody did do just that and what is the most troubling aspect of this is that the person who did so just happens to be a person in the mainstream media and it was suggested on his television show. That person is none other than Chris Matthews, here is how it went down:

Matthews said, “And now we find Kushner, in the Middle East, brokering the Middle East peace process, whatever it is, among the Arabs and the Israelis and Likud and everybody else. Meanwhile, Tillerson’s sitting around doing what? He can’t even appoint his own deputies. The power seems to have gone to the son-in-law. This is the Romanovs. Just a thought, the Romanovs. Is it?”

 

He later added, “And then you find out, in all these investigations that Jared was opening up a tunnel to Moscow, so that he wouldn’t have to deal with the State Department. So, the son-in-law — you know, one good thing Mussolini did was execute his son-in-law. … I know that was an extreme measure. But this was — this is a strange situation.”

 The key word in his statement is “but.” After talking about Mussolini executing his son-in-law Chris Matthew said “I know that was an extreme measure but” before saying “this is a strange situation.” So he is comparing the two situations and drawing a similarity. 

  In no way do I think that Chris Matthews actually condones the execution of Jared Kushner, he probably just gets his rocks off fantasizing about it, (which is odd, sick, and deranged) but we have learned from the Steve Scalice shooting in Washington DC that there are sick alt-leftists out there who are so upset at Donald Trump for having the audacity to win an election and try to make good on his campaign promises they are willing to take  up arms against Republicans and rhetoric such as this is all that it takes to push them over the edge. Earlier today there was another example: an alt-leftist was in court for threatening to kill a Florida Republican lawmaker.

  Words have meanings and this was unbelievably irresponsible, Chris Matthews should face consequences for what he said, I just hope we do not see another repeat of what happened at that baseball field a couple of weeks ago.
